VFD Recommendations

Siemens drives are good, especially when used with TIA Portal.

Getting them at the moment, however, is somewhat of a challenge.

The first experienced I had with Altivar drives was very bad so I am biased against them. A company I worked for had about 40 of them MCC mounted (I forget the model) and we kept TEN spare keypads in the parts room for the occasion when we needed to troubleshoot them. Half the LCDs would be dead.

That would have been the ATV61. Schneider definitely had some hassles with those. We were given free replacements when they failed. Was easy enough to swap from one drive to another though.
 
have a look at control techniques. Had to start using them due to stock issues with major brands. After getting over the menus using the face I find them very decent for their pricing
